Murder suspect on the run with ties to Alaska
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (KTVF) – A Tennessee man is wanted for first degree murder after falsely making a 911 call impersonating his alleged victim.
Law Enforcement says the suspect, Nicholas Wayne Hamlett, is reported to have ties to Alaska – and his current whereabouts are unknown.
On Friday, Oct. 18, Monroe County Tennessee emergency services responded to a call from a man stating that he had fallen from a cliff while being chased by a bear. They located a deceased man carrying an identification card with the name Brandon Andrade; and determined that the victim did not own the identification and had not made the 911 call.
Law enforcement says that Hamlett was identified as having used the stolen identification of Andrade on multiple occasions, and is believed to have fled his residence after speaking with police.
Hamlett is considered dangerous and could be armed; if you see him, do not approach, but call 911 immediately.
